5 dayscompiler: fix most compilation errors from std.fs changesAndrew Kelley
5 daysupdate lockStderrWriter sitesAndrew Kelley
use the application's Io implementation where possible. This correctly makes writing to stderr cancelable, fallible, and participate in the application's event loop. It also removes one more hard-coded dependency on a secondary Io implementation.

7 dayscompiler: replace thread pool with `std.Io`Matthew Lugg
Eliminate the `std.Thread.Pool` used in the compiler for concurrency and asynchrony, in favour of the new `std.Io.async` and `std.Io.concurrent` primitives. This removes the last usage of `std.Thread.Pool` in the Zig repository.

2025-11-14represent Mac Catalyst as aarch64-maccatalyst-none rather than ↵Alex Rønne Petersen
aarch64-ios-macabi Apple's own headers and tbd files prefer to think of Mac Catalyst as a distinct OS target. Earlier, when DriverKit support was added to LLVM, it was represented a distinct OS. So why Apple decided to only represent Mac Catalyst as an ABI in the target triple is beyond me. But this isn't the first time they've ignored established target triple norms (see: armv7k and aarch64_32) and it probably won't be the last. While doing this, I also audited all Darwin OS prongs throughout the codebase and made sure they cover all the tags.

2025-10-30std.debug.lockStderrWriter: also return ttyconfMatthew Lugg
`std.Io.tty.Config.detect` may be an expensive check (e.g. involving syscalls), and doing it every time we need to print isn't really necessary; under normal usage, we can compute the value once and cache it for the whole program's execution. Since anyone outputting to stderr may reasonably want this information (in fact they are very likely to), it makes sense to cache it and return it from `lockStderrWriter`. Call sites who do not need it will experience no significant overhead, and can just ignore the TTY config with a `const w, _` destructure.

This experimental target was never fully completed. The operating system is not that interesting or popular anyway, and the maintainer is no longer around. Not worth the maintenance burden. This code can be resurrected later if it is worth it. In such case it will be subject to greater scrutiny.
2025-08-08compiler: improve error reportingmlugg
The functions `Compilation.create` and `Compilation.update` previously returned inferred error sets, which had built up a lot of crap over time. This meant that certain error conditions -- particularly certain filesystem errors -- were not being reported properly (at best the CLI would just print the error name). This was also a problem in sub-compilations, where at times only the error name -- which might just be something like `LinkFailed` -- would be visible. This commit makes the error handling here more disciplined by introducing concrete error sets to these functions (and a few more as a consequence). These error sets are small: errors in `update` are almost all reported via compile errors, and errors in `create` are reported through a new `Compilation.CreateDiagnostic` type, a tagged union of possible error cases. This allows for better error reporting. Sub-compilations also report errors more correctly in several cases, leading to more informative errors in the case of compiler bugs. Also fixes some race conditions in library building by replacing calls to `setMiscFailure` with calls to `lockAndSetMiscFailure`. Compilation of libraries such as libc happens on the thread pool, so the logic must synchronize its access to shared `Compilation` state.
2025-08-01build system: replace fuzzing UI with build UI, add time reportmlugg
This commit replaces the "fuzzer" UI, previously accessed with the `--fuzz` and `--port` flags, with a more interesting web UI which allows more interactions with the Zig build system. Most notably, it allows accessing the data emitted by a new "time report" system, which allows users to see which parts of Zig programs take the longest to compile. The option to expose the web UI is `--webui`. By default, it will listen on `[::1]` on a random port, but any IPv6 or IPv4 address can be specified with e.g. `--webui=[::1]:8000` or `--webui=127.0.0.1:8000`. The options `--fuzz` and `--time-report` both imply `--webui` if not given. Currently, `--webui` is incompatible with `--watch`; specifying both will cause `zig build` to exit with a fatal error. When the web UI is enabled, the build runner spawns the web server as soon as the configure phase completes. The frontend code consists of one HTML file, one JavaScript file, two CSS files, and a few Zig source files which are built into a WASM blob on-demand -- this is all very similar to the old fuzzer UI. Also inherited from the fuzzer UI is that the build system communicates with web clients over a WebSocket connection. When the build finishes, if `--webui` was passed (i.e. if the web server is running), the build runner does not terminate; it continues running to serve web requests, allowing interactive control of the build system. In the web interface is an overall "status" indicating whether a build is currently running, and also a list of all steps in this build. There are visual indicators (colors and spinners) for in-progress, succeeded, and failed steps. There is a "Rebuild" button which will cause the build system to reset the state of every step (note that this does not affect caching) and evaluate the step graph again. If `--time-report` is passed to `zig build`, a new section of the interface becomes visible, which associates every build step with a "time report". For most steps, this is just a simple "time taken" value. However, for `Compile` steps, the compiler communicates with the build system to provide it with much more interesting information: time taken for various pipeline phases, with a per-declaration and per-file breakdown, sorted by slowest declarations/files first. This feature is still in its early stages: the data can be a little tricky to understand, and there is no way to, for instance, sort by different properties, or filter to certain files. However, it has already given us some interesting statistics, and can be useful for spotting, for instance, particularly complex and slow compile-time logic. Additionally, if a compilation uses LLVM, its time report includes the "LLVM pass timing" information, which was previously accessible with the (now removed) `-ftime-report` compiler flag. To make time reports more useful, ZIR and compilation caches are ignored by the Zig compiler when they are enabled -- in other words, `Compile` steps *always* run, even if their result should be cached. This means that the flag can be used to analyze a project's compile time without having to repeatedly clear cache directory, for instance. However, when using `-fincremental`, updates other than the first will only show you the statistics for what changed on that particular update. Notably, this gives us a fairly nice way to see exactly which declarations were re-analyzed by an incremental update. If `--fuzz` is passed to `zig build`, another section of the web interface becomes visible, this time exposing the fuzzer. This is quite similar to the fuzzer UI this commit replaces, with only a few cosmetic tweaks. The interface is closer than before to supporting multiple fuzz steps at a time (in line with the overall strategy for this build UI, the goal will be for all of the fuzz steps to be accessible in the same interface), but still doesn't actually support it. The fuzzer UI looks quite different under the hood: as a result, various bugs are fixed, although other bugs remain. For instance, viewing the source code of any file other than the root of the main module is completely broken (as on master) due to some bogus file-to-module assignment logic in the fuzzer UI. Implementation notes: * The `lib/build-web/` directory holds the client side of the web UI. * The general server logic is in `std.Build.WebServer`. * Fuzzing-specific logic is in `std.Build.Fuzz`. * `std.Build.abi` is the new home of `std.Build.Fuzz.abi`, since it now relates to the build system web UI in general. * The build runner now has an **actual** general-purpose allocator, because thanks to `--watch` and `--webui`, the process can be arbitrarily long-lived. The gpa is `std.heap.DebugAllocator`, but the arena remains backed by `std.heap.page_allocator` for efficiency. I fixed several crashes caused by conflation of `gpa` and `arena` in the build runner and `std.Build`, but there may still be some I have missed. * The I/O logic in `std.Build.WebServer` is pretty gnarly; there are a *lot* of threads involved. I anticipate this situation improving significantly once the `std.Io` interface (with concurrency support) is introduced.

2025-07-07std.io.Writer.printValue: rework logicAndrew Kelley
Alignment and fill options only apply to numbers. Rework the implementation to mainly branch on the format string rather than the type information. This is more straightforward to maintain and more straightforward for comptime evaluation. Enums support being printed as decimal, hexadecimal, octal, and binary. `formatInteger` is another possible format method that is unconditionally called when the value type is struct and one of the integer-printing format specifiers are used.

2025-06-13compiler: fix atomic orderingsmlugg
I messed up atomic orderings on this variable because they changed in a local refactor at some point. We need to always release on the store and acquire on the loads so that a linker thread observing `.ready` sees the stored MIR.
2025-06-12compiler: don't queue too much AIR/MIRmlugg
Without this cap, unlucky scheduling and/or details of what pipeline stages perform best on the host machine could cause many gigabytes of MIR to be stuck in the queue. At a certain point, pause the main thread until some of the functions in flight have been processed.
